Well, ubi i/o brought the 8 best French startups to the U.S in order to accelerate their deployment. Things are going great so far, our entrepreneurs are tackling down business meetings, attending pitching competitions and gathering up rather large crowds to all their events.

To spice things up, we’re putting them in direct competition against 8 top ranked American startups in a fierce but friendly pitch competition held at the French Tech Hub. To make sure this event is both fair and competitive; we’ve gone ahead and selected 8 promising startups incubated in two top-tier accelerator programs in Silicon Valley: Founders Space and 500 startups.

The pitchers will have to be on their A Game. Each pitch will be 3 minutes long in front of an esteemed panel of investors, corporates and entrepreneurs of the Bay Area.

There will be two winners: The Best Pitch: the public’s pick and the Best Startup: the Jury’s pick. So pitchers will not only need to win the heart of the public, but also meet the criteria list of the panel.

Some referees are known for their expertise in specific fields. If you want a glance of the forthcoming fight, have a look at who will be the judging it.

Any rare fight comes with its VIP crowd and media coverage on who has front row seats. That’s part of the game! If you come check out the event, you might share your bench with VCs, business angels, corporates and corporate VCs members of the Open Innovation Club, the press and of course entrepreneurs.
